Comments on: The 4 Currencies of the Blogosphere - And How to Get Your Share http://selfmadechick.com/2007/10/17/the-4-currencies-of-the-blogosphere-and-how-to-get-your-share/ Making a Living Online and Lovin' It Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:41:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Anke http://selfmadechick.com/2007/10/17/the-4-currencies-of-the-blogosphere-and-how-to-get-your-share/#comment-2101 Anke Sat, 08 Nov 2008 16:47:56 +0000 http://selfmadechick.com/2007/10/17/the-4-currencies-of-the-blogosphere-and-how-to-get-your-share/#comment-2101 Thanks for the great post! In fact, it is not the first one I read and found very helpful. I can only agree with you when it comes to the power of relationships. I'm very new to the online business world - my website is less than 2 months old - but my offline business (I'm a dressmaker for flamenco artists) is proof that you are right. Virtually all new clients are referred to me by existing ones. I do absolutely no marketing and never suffer lack of work. So when it comes to my website I won't forget that lesson.

Thanks for subscribing :) I really like the transparency of your blog posts and the fact that you talk about things that many others seem to avoid - count me in! Hi T!

I intend to follow every one of them. With that in mind, I wanted to let you know that I subscribed to your blog (before reading this post;-) and would most appreciated if you would return the favor. :-) What great tips, especially for a novice blogger like me.

I'm seeking out great Stumble posts from top Stumblers and doing some interviews as well. If you're up for an email interview - let me know! I will search your blog for some of those great SU posts - if you'd like, send me some links to your favorite or most useful ones. :D lol - Thanks Maki - I’m just cracking Stumble Upon and am planning one or more posts on in for this blog and for another blog that I write for.

Links + traffic are by far the most important currency in the blogosphere. Take for example, your first paragraph, which mentions StumbleUpon. I've written several very in-depth and well received StumbleUpon articles and most people know I have a pretty active and strong SU account. Linking to me would get me over to your blog and I'll very likely promote it and share it on other social sites I'm active on. But because you didn't link, you missed that opportunity and I had to discover this post on my own. Not to mention you didn't score any points because I don't get any praise or mention. People love to hear nice things about themselves. Make friends with targeted influencers and your content or business will grow much faster than before. :) Hey Christine,

Great article.
